Sir John Nelthorpe died in 1669 and left money to found a Grammar School in Brigg.

WELCOME TO OUR SITE

Brigg High School for Girls was founded in 1919. Its "new" buildings erected in 1937 now form SJN's Lower School.

In 1976 the Grammar School was merged with the Girls' High School to form The Sir John Nelthorpe School - SJN.
